Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Yes. 105 shifters, Ultegra derailleurs, DA crank.

I feel like yours isn't 23 pounds. Seems like it should be more like 21.

Indeed. But it is driving it forward and inflating the post count. And with any luck Razor will get drafted and shipped off to Afghanistan and he won't clog up the thread.




Oh wait. They haven't had a draft since the early 70's when I was in high school. Never mind.

It's hard to join the Army now? That's when you know the economy really blows.

I rode the TT bike today. Now I feel better. This dental stuff is nasty. Hope my gum stops hurting. Oh well. Getting old sucks, but the alternative is no bargain. On the other hand, I am a Mets fan, so death is the easy way out.

But I'm no Wussy.
